How to Get Rid of Weeds Before Laying Sod Grass?
If you have a weed problem in your current lawn, you won’t want to pass that problem along to your brand new sod as well.
If the installation area is currently dirt and weeds, we recommend you apply glyphosate to kill weeds before new sod is installed. This will essentially kill everything.
When changing or replacing existing sod, you can either apply the glyphosate to kill it or remove the existing sod with a mechanical sod cutter.
Remember to wait 7-10 days to install your new sod after applying glyphosate to ensure that it’s completely out of the soil.
